Step 1
Sampling distributions : The probability distribution of a given statistic based on a random sample.
The sampling distribution depends on: the underlying distribution of the population, the statistic being consider.
Let x1,x2,....xn are random sample from population with mean µ and standard deviation σ then sampling distribution of sample follows approximately normal distribution as,
xN(μx,σx) where σx=σn
And if population standard deviation \sigma is unknown then,
xN(μx,Sx) where Sx=Sn
Step 2
This distribution is normal since the underlying population is normal, although sampling distributions may also often be close to normal even when the population distribution is not.
